PC's were invented by computer engineers so they could be kept in work forever by having to fix them for the poor sods that buy them.
Trawl this Topic section and see how many questions relate to "problems with Macs' and compare them to 'problems with my PC".
I'll give you a virtual pound for every question you find relating to Mac's.
Here endeth the sermon!
thats probably because so many more people use IBM compatible PCs though!
Macs are superbly build and very well desined, as are most apple products. Most users have issues with software compatability but if you are web browsing / music sharing / video editing there is no particular reason not to buy one. My employer chose macs over pcs to supply with medical equipment as they considered them more robust (software-wise) and far less susceptable to viruses.
This is true - as the Mac operating system can only cope with these particular devices.
Macs have their place in both graphic design and recording studios, but that's all. If you buy a Mac to use as a home PC then you're getting your pants pulled down over the price, you won't be able to use standard software, and you won't be able to upgrade with any components. Their only saving grace is the slightly more stable operating system, because the drivers are hard-coded.
If you consider Windows is able to run with an almost infinite combination of motherboards, processors, graphics cards, sound cards, modems, networkcards, etc - wheras Macs can only take the ones designed for them, I think you'll agree it's Windows that's the more impressive feat of engineering.
